For some time past there has been
a great cackling that Ohio Democrats
would nominate Ex-senator Thurman
for Governor and proceed TO defeat
Foraker without half trying. Mr.. Thur
man has just spoiled the plan by writing
a letter positively declining to be can
didate, and asking his friends to see
that his name is not presented at the
coming convention. The "Old Roman"
has been played for sucker by the
Ohio "kids" once too often, and there
is no doubt that his retirement from pol
itics after the Payne election was taken
with determination that it be perma-
nent. Besides this, Mr.. Thurman Is
smarter than the general run of Ohio
Democrats, and understands very well
that the task of defeating Governor
Foraker for reelection next fall is en-
tirely hopeless.

SECRETARY LAMAR has decided that the
pension examiner, Behle, who was
summarily dismissed by Commissioner
Black, shall be heard in defense of the
charges which are made against him.
1t is understood that the removal was
made because Behle had criticised Pres
ident Cleveland IN regard to the battle
flag affair. 1t will be interesting to see
whether it will be held that Office hold
ers must not express opinions antagon-
istic to the administration under which
they are serving.

MANKATo Is not the only city that suf-
fers Disappointment over the failure of
hotel projects. 1t is just announced
that the scheme for building 500, 600
hotel and opera houss at Winona has
fallen through with. In one thing,
however, Winona is ahead-the agitat-
ion has induced the proprietors of the
present hostelries to expend large am
cunt of money in Improvements on
their houses. Mankato has to get along
with the same old trap.

IT is given out upon the authority OF
Col. A. C. Thompson, who is understood
to be managing as it were the presiden-
tial prospects of Senator Sherman, that
unless the Republican State Convention
soon to meet in Ohio, endorses Mr..
Sherman as its unanimous choice for the
presidential nomination that gentleman
will withdraw from the field. Col.
Thompson says that the Senator is in no
wise candidate now, but will become
one if the Republican of his State are
in calling him out. Mr..
Sherman's long service and ability emit
ties him to the support of his party in
Ohio, and the convention would do him
more than justice in voting him
its unanimous choice for the Presidency.

JUDGE LEWIS, of Sioux City, received
formal notice ofhis nomination as Judge

lican party has done all that could be
reasonably expected of it in Iowa on the
Prohibition ouestion.

Ono Democrats meet IN State conven-
ton at Cleveland tomorrow. There is
one remarkable thing in connection with
this convention-someth altogether
astonishing-the fact that it is to be held
in advance ofthe Republican convention.
1t is always the Democratic game to al
low the other party to take the lead in
nominating tickets as well as in every
thing else, but this year it appears that
they think their chances of success so
hopeless that they refuse to take even the
usual precautions. The honor of being
defeated by Gov. Foraker will be fought
for by Congressman Campbell and
young aspirant from Delaware, named
Tom Powell.

RpqARprNG the meeting of the National

REGARDING the meeting of the National
Teachers Association which Is being
held in Chicago, the Inter Ocean says:
The best signs of the great convention
of teachers now in progress is that in
structors seem beginning to know what
practical" education ought to be. "Man
doth not live by bread alone" is an old
truth that seems to be meeting with a
new recognition; the man who has hith-
erto talked of practical education has
generally meant education which teach
es now to make more bread. The ex-
hibits from the best schools of four great

than raiment.n

THE CHINCH BUGS.
Reports From Points Where the
Pests are at Work.
Pioneer Press Specials.

ROCHESTER, July 15.-Chinch bugs are
flying this week in binding swarms and
appear to be moving west. The latest
method of keeping the pests out of corn
is to cut the first row or two on the
edge of the field, lay the cut stalks in a
continuous row as boundary, and when
the bugs collect under this row scald
them with sprinkler of hot water.
Another method is to poison the pros
trate stalks with solution of Paris
green. Crops in this section will be
very uneven this year, some fields be-
ing first rate and others alongside being
completely ruined by the bugs. Wheat
is about all ruined everywhere, and a
large share of the barley is worthless
Oats will be fair crop in some town.
ships, although much of the grain is
wcedy and also needs rain to help in
filling.
ALONG THE MINNESOTA RIVER.
SHAKoPEE, July 15.-A drive twenty
miles into the towns of Jackson, Louis
vile und Sand Creek yesterday evening
revealed the fact that the chinch bugs
are doing considerable damage and es-
pecially on farms bordering near the
prairie lands. Grain is maturing fast,
with rye and barley already cut in most
places. Where the bugs have not yet
reached the wheat crop the outlook is
promising for full average yield. Corn
looks well everywhere, and if nothing
unusual happens the yield will be i'm
mense. The northern belt of this coun-
ty, comprising the prairie portion of it,
and bordering on the Minnesota river
bottom lands, is affected most seriously
with the chinch bugs, and the yield will
be very light, in many places amounting
to less than the seed; but the southern
portion in general is affected lightly, if
at all, and the yield will be full aver
age.
REDUCED YIELD.
HUTCHINSON, July 15.-Last season
there were 100000 bushels of wheat
marketed at Hutchinson. A careful es.
innate will reduce that amount one
third for this season owing to the drouth.
In many fields the heads are turning
white and will not fill. Others show
good stand and promise round average
crop. Oats are fair; corn is No. and
potatoes middling. There has been less
rain here than in any year in the history
of Mcleod county.

THE RECORD BROKEN.
A St. Paul Firm Break the Record
on Railroad Building.

The Pioneer Press of Tuesday says that
Messrs. Shepard 4 Winston, the great
railroad builders of St. Paul, are far sur
passing even their own unrivaled record
in the rapidity with which they are
pushing the Montana extension of the
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba rail-
road. On Saturday evening the end of
the track reached point 254 miles west
of Minot, and by the middle of next
week one-half of the distance between
Minot and Great Falls will be finished.
On Saturday last 10 miles of main track
were laid, being the largest amount ev-
er laid on any railroad in one day and
from one end. The following is record
of the last thirty days:

True Social Success.

The triumph popularly called "a social success" is very apt to have its vulgar, because ostenta- tious, side. True social success is not a thing of mushroom growth. Ii is not registered by the number of invitations one recieves in a week. It is not measured by the frequency with which one is seen at grand houses. True social sue cess is tue gradual growth in pub lie esteem which springs from the gradual recognition of character, and the good faith and esteem it may gradually inspire. True so- cal success is an affair of spiritual gravitation; and from this aspect it will be conceded that it is not a matter to which one can lay posi- tive claims to being entitled" A person may be too high and too fine to be "a social success in cir cles whose standards of recogni- ton are on lower plane. It is easy to imagine the slight esteem in which q man or woman of gen
 
 social circles whose ideals were of another order. It would not be the fault of either, but the inevi- table discrepancy of different standards, and for him to talk of being "entitled" to more would be alike absurd and undignifed- Boston Traveller.

Mrs. Cleveland Never Gessips.

Washington Critic: Of all the pleasant things said of Mrs. Cleve- land this winter the truest is that no one has yet heard from her the slightest suggestion of gossip. h. numerable and as irresistible as are the opportunities here to $ qulck-witted woman to comment on people and things, she has never made the simplest remark which might be construed as un- kind. Perhaps no lady in her Do sition was ever keener reader of what others say of her in print than Mrs. Cleveland, and naturally much of her knowledge of the so- cial doings of others comes to her only through that medium. She expresses herself as being throughly appreciative of the kind things said to and of her, particu- larly of the success which has fol- lowed her career this winter as the hostess of the White House, and in that capacity has charmed the most critical of Washington's cul tured resident and foreign circles.

Ea!iaaieS About Food.

l. That there is any nutriment in beef tea made from extracts. There Is none whatever. 2. That Gelatine is nutritious. It will not keep cat alive. Beef tea and gelatine, however, possess a cer- tain reparative power, we know not what. g. That an egg is equal to a pound of meat, and that every sick person can eat eggs. Many especially those of nervous or bll- ious temperments, cannot eat them and to such eggs are injurious. 1. That, because milk is an impor- tant article of food, 1t must be forced upon a patient, Food that a person cannot endure will not cure. ,. That arrowroot is nutri- tious. It is simply starch and wa ter, useful as a restorative, quickly prepared. 6. That cheese is injur- ious in all cases. It is, as rule, contra-indicated. being usually in digestible, but It is concentrated nutriment, and a waste repairer, and often craved. '. That the cravings of a patient are whims, and should be denied. The sto- mach often needs, craves fer, and digests articles not laid down in any dietary. Snch are, for exam pies, fruits, pickles, jams, cake, han or bacon with fat, cheese but ter and milk. s. That an infexible diet may be marked out which shall apply to every case. Choice of q given list of articles allowable in a given case must be decided by the opinion of the stomach. The stomach is right, and theory wrong, and the judgement admits no appeal. A diet which would keep a healthy man healthy might kill a sick man; and a diet sutfici- ent to sustain sick man would not keep a well man alive In creased quantity of food, especi- ally of liquids, does not mean in creased nutriment, rather decrease, since the digestion is oyertaxed and weakened. Strive to give the food in as concentrated form as possible. Consult the patients stomach in preference to his tastes, and if the stomach rejects a cer- tain article do not force it.-Jour- nal of Reconstruction.
